Left ventricular systolic function and myocardial wall stress in conditions predisposing to diastolic heart failure
Myocardial wall stress (MWS) is a crucial factor linked to myocardial hypertrophy, which can lead to heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Shortening-deactivation of cardiac myocytes could provide a mechanism linking systolic to diastolic dysfunction whe...
